MORE about the book:
"Comprehensive and remarkably lucid"—Publishers Weekly
"A furious indictment of the Supreme Court as an accessory to the
anti-democratic machinations of Gilded Age elites."—Kirkus Reviews
"One of the saddest episodes in American history has been inadequately explored
and poorly understood—until now. Lawrence Goldstone's brilliantly written book,
Inherently Unequal, traces the post-Reconstruction Supreme Court's slow
strangulation of equal rights for African-Americans. It will be a shock to many
that the judicial branch, viewed in the modern context as the premier defender
of civil rights, was primarily responsible for the nation's descent into a deep,
racist inequality that ruined the lives of millions for a century. As Goldstone
shows us, Lincoln's great legacy was cynically dismantled by the officeholders
best positioned to protect it."—Larry Sabato
